Christmas Card Club #11: Baubles

Hello fellow crafters! So glad you stopped by for a visit, 'cause I have a little Christmas card to show you. It's time for another Christmas Card Club challenge and this week our lovely hostess, Kerry has set an easy challenge for us: Baubles!

Seriously, does it come easier than that? I didn't think so. Off I went and made a card...something with a contemporary vintage look: vintage-y papers, contemporary colours, traditional elements. Very clever, I thought; that is until I realised I made a mistake. Quite a glaring one at that. Can you spot it? I'll tell you at the end of the post! Here's the card:

The tag is also from the Collection and it says "All I want for Christmas". I stamped "Joy" from WMS Nutcracker Sweet set in Memento Elderberry. The focal bauble is from Chocolate Baroque's Pears and Baubles. I heat embossed it in gold and added some purple blong...err, I mean, bling!

To finish, some cream cotton lace and sheer lavender ribbon. I also added some Icicle Stickles on the tag...for extra festive shine.

This sentiment is from WMS Say It Loud Winter, stamped in Memento Elderberry.
